Life After Death, Proven by Scientists.

As someone who has actually been in that boat, someone who has been on life support with their heart on one table, as I lay on another table with only a machine pumping my blood for hours as they did their best to repair my heart.  It made me think, made me speculate even more on the great beyond..........that next step in our journey as spiritual beings in a physical body.

I even told my beautiful wife  just as I was going under (don't recall much of those 2 days but remember this.....) Honey,.........I'm going to do an experiment during all this.

My attempt was to have an OBE, or Out of Body Experience, to try and hear the conversations while I was under, wonder around and observe existence from a different perspective..

Well, my memory from that traumatic event last summer, is but a blur to me.  It took me months to have any sort of normal memory.  I do not remember several days including the day of the surgery, so alas my experiment failed.

However Scientists have been doing some tests, and this is what they are turning up!

Berlin: A team of psychologists and medical doctors associated with the Technische Universität of Berlin, have announced this morning that they had proven by clinical experimentation, the existence of some form of life after death. This astonishing announcement is based on the conclusions of a study using a new type of medically supervised near-death experiences, that allow patients to be clinically dead for almost 20 minutes before being brought back to life.

This controversial process that was repeated on 944 volunteers over that last four years, necessitates a complex mixture of drugs including epinephrine and dimethyltryptamine, destined to allow the body to survive the state of clinical death and the reanimation process without damage. The body of the subject was then put into a temporary comatic state induced by a mixture of other drugs which had to be filtered by ozone from his blood during the reanimation process 18 minutes later.

The extremely long duration of the experience was only recently made possible by the development of a new cardiopulmonary recitation (CPR) machine called the AutoPulse. This type of equipment has already been used over the last few years, to reanimate people who had been dead for somewhere between 40 minutes to an hour.

Near-death experiences have been hypothesized in various medical journals in the past, as having the characteristics of hallucinations, but Dr. Ackermann and his team, on the contrary, consider them as evidence for the existence of the afterlife and of a form of dualism between mind and body."

The team of scientists led by Dr. Berthold Ackermann, has monitored the operations and have compiled the testimonies of the subjects. Although there are some slight variations from one individual to another, all of the subjects have some memories of their period of clinical death. and a vast majority of them described some very similar sensations.

Most common memories include a feeling of detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, total serenity, security, warmth, the experience of absolute dissolution, and the presence of an overwhelming light.

The scientists say that they are well aware the many of their conclusions could shock a lot of people, like the fact that the religious beliefs of the various subjects seems to have held no incidence at all, on the sensations and experiences that they described at the end of the experiment. Indeed, the volunteers counted in their ranks some members are a variety of Christian churches, Muslims, Jews, Hindus and atheists..

“I know our results could disturb the beliefs of many people” says Mr. Ackermann. “But in a way, we have just answered one of the greatest questions in the history of mankind, so I hope these people will be able to forgive us. Yes, there is life after death and it looks like this applies to everyone.”

Kind of reminds me of a Movie.......

Spirits toss a Pint of Ale without Spilling a Drop

A Cornwall couple have come to the conclusion that their 17th century pub has more than just the spirits you put in a glass.  The couple, Jenny Heard and Martin McConn laughed off the ghostly tales tied to the historic Crow's Nest Inn on Bodmin Moor, in Cornwall.

But just days after their arrival the couple witnessed a full pint of Proper Job ale flew off the bar, landing on the floor - without spilling a single drop.



When they raced over to inspect the mess they were stunned to find the glass was standing upright on the stone floor and none of the beer had spilled.

As the oldest building in the village that bears its name, the Crow's Nest has long been a focus for thirsty locals and moorland visitors alike, appearing on Joel Gascoyne's famous Map of Cornwall as far back as 1699.

Numerous paranormal events have been chronicled over the years, from a bell that was said to ring on its own, to a clock that constantly ran ten minutes fast no matter how many times it was wound back.

Locals say there are several Spirits in the traditional pub, including the spectre of a local woman who was murdered in 1844.

Jenny said: "It went terribly cold in the bar all of a sudden. Everybody in the pub just stopped and looked around to see how it could have happened, but the doors were all shut and nobody was standing near the glass at the time it moved."

Ellen, Haunted by Previous Owners of her Home

Ellen believes that her new multimillion dollar home is haunted.

Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is indicating according to some of her friends, that she hasn't been sleeping well due to unusual activity in her home.

Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi seem to be experiencing paranormal activity in their new mansion. Ellen has hinted to some friends that she thinks that the home is haunted by the original owner's wife.

DeGeneres' new home is known as the Brody House which is located in Los Angeles' area.

Reports are that Ellen and Portia spent  $40 million for the mansion they now call home.

It was built by real estate developer Sidney Body and his wife Frances in 1951. Brody passed away in 1981 and his wife later died in the house in 2009. “The house had been remodeled, so Ellen thought it would have no trace of the former owner. But she was wrong. Within a few nights of moving in, Ellen started hearing random noises, including footsteps and doors opening and closing,”

A friend of DeGeneres said in an interview. DeGeneres has heard a woman crying at night and according to her friend, she is freaked out and hasn't been sleeping well. She plans to get the house cleansed to get rid of the negative spirits.

Personal Note to Ellen; now we can't say we will get rid of whatever is in the home.  But we would love to come study the Environmental Conditions to see if we can help resolve the issue you are dealing with.

9 yr old walks backwards up a wall with credible witness, Real Life Demon Possession or Movie Plot?

A terrified mother claims she watched in horror as her demon-possessed 9-year-old son walked backwards up a wall and ceiling. One would simply dismiss her claims if a child services case worker and a nurse weren’t present to witness it all.

(Screengrab via Daily Mail)

Latoya Ammons claims all three of her children showed signs of being possessed, including “evil” smiles and strangely deep voices, the Indianapolis Star reports. The mother says she also witnessed her 12-year-old daughter levitating in their Gary, Ind., home.

Strangely enough, the scary-sounding incident is detailed in official documents. Gary police Capt. Charles Austin told the Star that he is a “believer” after making several visits to the home and interviewing witnesses. His first thought was that the family was making up the elaborate story up as part of a get-rich-quick scheme. Would even make a block buster movie.
 

Ammons’ home was “exorcized” by a catholic priest over numerous ceremonies that were reportedly authorized by the local Diocese in Gary. The story is apparently so believable that officers with the local police department said they were too scared to stay at the house and some city officials are reported as to no even wanting to step foot on the property.
 

The 32-year-old mother says the spirits that haunted her family’s house were only vanquished after she moved away and underwent several exorcisms. The unbelievable story has come to light after the Indianapolis Star obtained hundreds of pages of official documents relating to the case.

The Ammons family moved into the rental house on Carolina Street in Gary, Ind., back in November 2011. They soon noticed strange occurrences, including swarms of flies around the house, footsteps in the basement and wet footprints streaking across the living room floor.

But what happened next made those incidents seem pleasant.
 

In March 2012, Ammons claims she rushed to check on her 12-year-old daughter after hearing her screams. When she entered the bedroom, she says she witnessed her daughter levitating above her bed unconscious.
 

The family and some of the guests they were hosting prayed over the girl until she returned back to the bed. The girl reportedly didn’t remember anything about it.

The torment reportedly continued and the family wasn’t in a position financially to flee the home. So the family contacted churches and clairvoyants for help, but they received little relief. The clairvoyants allegedly told the family their house was haunted by more than 200 demons.

Ammons claims her childrens’ eyes bulged and they regularly sported evil smiles, effects of their possession. Her youngest child would reportedly sit in a closet and talk to an invisible child that no one could see. She also claims he was once thrown from the bathroom when no one was even near him.

Most of Ammons’ allegations are backed up by her mother, Rosa Campbell, who also lived in the house.

Later in 2012, child protective services in Indiana was contacted to investigate the mother for possible child abuse or mental illness. A psychiatrist reportedly evaluated Ammons and determined she was not mentally ill.
 

A family case manager reportedly interviewed the family and witnessed a number of strange occurrences. Valerie Washington confirmed that she witnessed the youngest boy growling before his eyes rolled back in his head.
 

Washington also claimed she saw the 9-year-old boy flash a “weird grin” and then walk backward up a wall to the ceiling. Her account was corroborated by a nurse.
 

“There’s no way he could’ve done that,” the nurse told the Star.

After being sent to investigate Ammons, Washington concluded that an “evil influence” might be affecting the family.

 

Now audio has been captured with Non Human Voices from the location.

The Archives: Paranormal After-Death Experiences 'Explained'

We lost a lot of stories in the transition of formats.  Here is one from the Old site pulled from the Archives.
Paranormal After-Death Experiences 'Explained'

A mysterious surge of brain activity observed in dying rats may explain reports of near-death-experiences (NDEs), researchers claim.

Even after the animals' hearts stopped beating and no blood was reaching their brains, they appeared to show signs of conscious perception.
The study is the first to take a systematic look at the neurophysiological state of the dying brain after a cardiac arrest.
It suggests something happens at the brink of death that pushes the conscious brain to a high level of arousal.
This may trigger the visions and sensations associated with NDEs, scientists believe.
As many as a fifth of people who survive cardiac arrests report having had an other-worldly experience while being "clinically" dead.
Typically NDEs involve travelling through a tunnel towards an intense light or being separated from the body.
Others encounter long-departed loved ones or angels and undergo some kind of judgment of "life review".
Some emerge from NDEs as transformed individuals with a completely altered outlook on life, or a new belief in religion.
But many scientists believe near-death-experiences are nothing more than hallucinations induced by the effect of the brain shutting down.
The new research involved recording the electrical nerve impulses of anaesthetised rats whose hearts were artificially stopped.
Within 30 seconds after suffering a cardiac arrest, all the animals displayed a short-lived surge of widespread, highly synchronised brain activity.
"We were surprised by the high levels of activity," said Dr George Mashour, one of the US researchers from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
"In fact, at near-death many known electrical signatures of consciousness exceeded levels found in the waking state, suggesting that the brain is capable of well-organised electrical activity during the early stage of clinical death."
The findings are reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Previously it was assumed that brain activity ceases when the heart stops.
"This study tells us that reduction of oxygen or both oxygen and glucose during cardiac arrest can stimulate brain activity that is characteristic of conscious processing," said lead scientist Dr Jimo Borjigin, also from the University of Michigan.
"It also provides the first scientific framework for the near-death experiences reported by many cardiac arrest survivors."
British expert Dr Martin Coath, from the Cognition Institute at University of Plymouth, said: "This new research is genuinely interesting.
"But the conclusion that these are 'neural correlates of heightened conscious processing' isn't strongly supported, unless you take it to mean 'more of some types of activity that are associated with being awake' which is a bit of a stretch.
"As the induced cardiac arrest happens while the rat's brain is anaesthetised, the results show the response of an unconscious brain to critical lack of blood flow and oxygen.
"It is certainly interesting that this causes some types of activity in the brain to increase in a predictable and coordinated way well after the heart has stopped, but hardly surprising."
Dr David McGonigle, from University of Cardiff, said: "Do we know if animals experience 'consciousness'? Most philosophers and scientists are still at loggerheads over what the term refers to in humans, let alone in other species.
"While recent research now suggests that animals may indeed have the kind of autobiographical memories that humans possess, the kinds of memories that allow us to place ourselves in a certain time and place, it seems unlikely that near-death-experiences would necessarily be similar across species."

New York's Freedom Tower: Ghostly Wails or High Winds

New Yorkers are wondering what the strange sounds that they are hearing resonating from the sky. Odd wailing noises seem to be echoing off buildings in Manhattan, and it's leaving a lot of folks scared, People Magazine reported yesterday.

The eerie sounds seem to be coming from the newly constructed Freedom Tower located at One World Trade Center in Manhattan. The structure replaced the original six-building complex of the World Trade Center that was attacked by terrorists on September 11, 2001. At 1776 feet, the building now takes the rank as the tallest building in the United States.

Several people called in to report the loud wailing noises that were heard earlier this week. Some of them were able to record the strange phenomena and even post it on Youtube.
"It's a skyquake, they are happening everywhere in the world. Really creepy sounds, no one knows where or why they happen. Some conspiracy people say it's HAARP," Michael Arazan said today.
Tribeca resident Kenny Cummings told the New York Post that "it almost sounds like a Gregorian chant and it will even hold a single note." Other New York residents believe that the new World Trade Center tower is haunted, and the screaming sounds are from the ghosts of the victims of the terrorist attacks.

The sounds coming from the Freedom Tower might just be the wind but that doesn't explain other noises that are being heard all over the world. Earlier this year, people in Missouri and Tennessee heard similar sounds.

What are these odd noises? That is one question on a lot of everyone's minds right now. This question may continue to go unanswered. Many officials are left baffled and are scratching their heads.
"At this point, nobody seems to know. The geologists say it's not in the ground, the Air Force says it's not in the air, the astronomers say it's not from space, so we're running out of options," one official said.

Some people think that the weird noises are paranormal related, others say they are extraterrestrial based, and a few folks claim that they have a biblical meaning. Others believe that there is a more scientific explanation or it is a hoax. As of right now, no one seems to have a clear answer as to what these strange sounds are.

Ghostly Picture of White Lady of Rufford Abbey Captured by Teenager

 Ghostly Picture of White Lady of Rufford Abbey Captured by Teenager   

It is claimed the white shape circled is the White Woman of Rufford Abbery PIC: Nottinghamshire County Council

A teenage boy is convinced ghosts exist after capturing an image of an apparition on his iPod at a medieval abbey.

Fifteen-year-old Cameron Hamilton took the pictures during a family trip to Rufford Abbey in Nottinghamshire. The building he was standing in dates back to 1147.
The misty white figure he captured has been identified as the White Lady of Rufford Abbey - the subject of numerous sightings at the site. According to local legend, she is Arabella Stuart, a noblewoman who died in 1615 in captivity on hunger strike after being jailed by King James I for her star-crossed marriage.
Cameron had been reading about her allegedly unquiet spirit on information boards only minutes before he took the pictures. But it was only when he got home later that he realised he had added to her legend.
He said: "I was quite surprised and was not expecting it. I believe in ghosts and the supernatural and this has further convinced me that they do exist."
Mum Helen said: "He decided to take some photos to see if he could capture anything spooky on film. We examined the film and saw this image of a White Lady clearly in shot. You can make out the jewellery she is wearing and her face too."

According to the manager of Rufford Abbey's tourist information centre, the shape matches tales of the White Lady. Debbie Hibbert said: "It certainly looked like a figure - like a young woman in full old fashioned dress, hovering over the door."

What do you see? Some parishioners call this picture a miracle in the suburbs

One north suburban Catholic Church is talking about a very thought provoking picture, shot with nothing more than an iphone.
One woman snapped a photo last Friday in the chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Glenview and says she got so much more.
Maureen Kent has been attending Eucharistic adoration at the church for more than 2 years. Kneeling last friday, she wanted a picture of the eucharist or host in the monstrance, the ornate gold stand it’s placed in.
The picture showed a bright light, an image larger than a human and appearing to hover next to the host on the alter. Catholics believe the host is the body of Christ.
No photo-shopping, she says, no doctoring the digital image. Just what she calls a great surprise when she looked at her screen.
Her friends in the chapel also believe it is the Virgin Mary, the supernatural right in suburban Glenview.  Authentication is not, right now, a consideration by Maureen Kent or even the church. They are relishing what they call a miraculous moment, privileged to have seen and believed, they say.
